Changes of corneal properties induced by laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) results in low inaccurate intraocular pressure (IOP) readings by Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT). Before and after LASIK, the applied value of IOP, measured by dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) in comparison to GAT, was evaluated. Before and 1, 4 weeks after LASIK, the IOP in 30 cases (60 eyes) was measured by GAT and DCT respectively. The obtained results were statistically processed by SPSS11.5 statistical software. The results showed that central corneal thickness (CCT) could affect GAT measurements but not DCT measurements. The comparison of IOP one and 4 weeks after LASIK revealed that the readings from GAT was separately decreased by 5.00 +/- 1.12 and 5.45 +/- 1.13 mmHg as compared with those before LASIK, while those from DCT had no significant difference. It was concluded that LASIK-induced changes of CCT could influence the accuracy of GAT measurements, but had no influence on those from DCT. DCT was more beneficial to the measurements of IOP in normal eyes and those subject to LASIK surgery.

To describe and evaluate a refraction-derived method and a clinically derived method to calculate the correct corneal power for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and to compare the results to the commonly used history-derived method. Retrospective analysis were conducted in consecutive case from clinical practice. For each patient, we established the pre-LASIK and post-LASIK spectacle refraction, the pre-LASIK (K(pre)) and post-LASIK K readings (K(post)). We then calculated the pre- and post-LASIK refraction at the cornmeal plane and the amount of correction obtained by the refraction surgery (deltaSEQco). The cases were divided into two groups. Group I was used to derive two formulas. The values obtained with the two methods were compared with the K by history-derived method (K(c.hd) in group II to validate the results. The K values calculated by using the refraction-derived method (K(c.rd)) and the K values calculated using the clinically derived method (K(c.cd)) correlated highly with K(c.hd). The correct corneal power for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations after LASIK can use refraction-derived method and clinically derived method instead of history-derived method when some refractive parameters are not available.

The present study was performed to investigate the relationship between the countercurrent of portal vein and intrahepatic cancerometastasis in patients with hepatic carcinoma under color Doppler flow imaging.To display the situation of portal carcinomatous thrombosis and intrahepatic cancerometastasis, two dimensional ultrasound was carried out in patients with hepatitis hepatocarcinoma and non hepatitis hepatocarcinoma. Also, color Doppler flow imaging was employed to examine the incidence of the pylic countercurrent and the portal vein hepatic artery fistula in four groups: hepatitis hepatocarcinoma group, non-hepatitis hepatocarcinoma group, hepatocirrhosis group and control group. The results showed that the incidences of portal carcinomatous thrombosis,intrahepatic cancerometastasis and the incidences of the countercurrent in portal vein were higher in hepatitis hepatocarcinoma group than those in non hepatitis hepatocarcinoma group ( P

Objective To investigate the value of laparoscopy combined with esophagogastroscopy in the treatment of achalasia of the cardia. Methods Twenty-five patients with achalasia of the cardia between October 2003 and April 2006 in this department underwent the HellerDor operation under laparoscopy combined with esophagogastroscopy.Results A1l the operations were successfully accomplished.The operating time was 60~240 min(mean,107 min) and the intraoperative blood loss,5~60 ml(mean,22 ml).Intraoperative mucosal perforation was encountered in 4 patients.All the patients got out of bed for activities at 8 hours after operation,with first passage of flatus,removal of the gastric tube,and liquid diet intake at 1~3 days after operation(mean,1.5 days).The esophageal manometry showed the lower esophageal sphincter(LES) pressure had decreased to normal levels at 7 days after operation.The 24-hour ambulatory pH studies showed a high reflex index in 3 patients,but without symptoms.Upper gastrointestinal barium swallow showed the dilated esophagus had a 8~26 mm(mean,18 mm) decrease in diameter at 8 days after operation.The length of postoperative hospitalization was 8~11 days(mean,8.5 days).Follow-up for 1~30 months(mean,5.4 months) in all the patients showed 23 patients were asymptomatic and 2 had intermittent dysphagia.Conclusions Heller-Dor operation under laparoscopy combined with esophagogastroscopy has advantages of precise positioning,little invasion,less pain,and good effects,increasing the quality of operation as well as decreasing the incidence of complications.

Objective To explore the clinical value of domestic harmonic scalpel in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods Modified laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) was performed in 36 cases under general anesthesia. The operation was completed by using domestic USI harmonic scalpel in 21 cases (USI Group) and by using imported harmonic scalpel in 15 cases (GEN Group). Results The operation was laparoscopically accomplished in both of the groups, without conversions to open surgery. Of the USI Group, the operating time was 42.6?7.5 min, the postoperative drainage was 34.3?14.0 ml, the length of postoperative hospitalization was 4.9?0.9 d, the speed for cutting cystic duct was 335.1?180.3 ?m/s, the speed for cutting cystic artery was 524.2?127.8 ?m/s, and the denaturalization width of cystic duct was 2 047.6?376.3 ?m. Of the GEN Group, the operating time was 47.0?9.0 min, the postoperative drainage was 38.0?3.9 ml, the length of postoperative hospitalization was 4.3?0.9 d, the speed for cutting cystic duct was 403.5?120.1 ?m/s, the speed for cutting cystic artery was 513.5?125.9 ?m/s, and the denaturalization width of cystic duct was 2 266.7?306.3 ?m. There was no differences in these parameters between the two groups ( P

Objective To observe the safety of midazolam and fentanyl in coronary intervention and its effect on haemodynamics. Methods 150 cases undergoing coronary intervention were randomly divided into three groups(n=50 for each):the control group were given injection of 5 ml saline,midazolam group were given 0.04 mg/kg midazolam and combined fentanyl group were given injection of 0.02 mg/kg midazolam with 1.2μg/kg fent-anyl intravenously. Heart rate(HR),mean blood pressure(MAP),SpO<,2>,OAA/S and BIS were observed during the intervention and the patients' satisfaction and the incidence of complications were investigated. Results There was no significant difference among the three groups in MAP and HR (F=3.34,2.98,P>0.05). MAP increased from (95.7±14.5) mm Hg to (85.4±15.3) mm Hg after treatment (t=4.34,P<0.01) and HR increased from (83.3±23.4) times/min to (78.4±22.7) times/min in control group (t=3.37,P<0.01). BIS score was (90.5±7.2),(75.5±12.8) and (72.3±14.1) during intervention and 24 hVAS score was (53.5±25.4),(58.8±18.2) and (71.9±16.8) in control group,midazolam group and combined fentanyl group,with significant difference between groups (F=10.89,8.56,P<0.01). Conclusion Low dose of midazolam and fentanyl can make the patients calm,which relieves the tensity and anxiety and enhance the tolerance and safety of intervention but has no remarkable effect on bemodynamics.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of interleukin-1β and C-reactive pro-tein(CRP)in atrial fibrillation(AF).Methods Sixteen mongrel dogs were randomly divided into two groups:pa-cing group(n=8)and control group(n=8).High frequency pacing was performed in the pacing group with perma-nent pacernaker but not in the control group.After pacing for 24 weeks,tissue samples were obtained from the left and right atria.The levels of IL-1βand CRP in atria were detected by immunohistochemistry.Results Compared to the control group,the expression level of IL-1β and CRP were significantly enhanced(P<0.05)in atrial tissues during AF.Conclusion IL-1β and CRP may participate in atrial fibrillation formation and play a role in generation and maintaining the artrial fibrillation.
